I always start with HAIRS
Always followed by MOUND
When they produce fewer than 3 hits, and no obvious next guess, PETTY often helps as the 3rd entry, as it did here, hitting the 2 T’s.

This is more of a speed method than a fewest-guesses technique.

I can see a lot of need for rehab if this goes behind the paywall. LOL!
I don’t play this cuz it makes my brain angry.

Anyone got it on the first try yet?

Not me that’s for sure. LOL :rofl:

When it goes behind the paywall it will make me sad for sure. Without getting too sickeningly sweet … rather than being addicted to the game itself, I’m more fond of it being something that is engaging a lot of us at the same time with the same goal. Even those not playing are coming in and conversing. It’s nice :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Today’s word was tough. i actually thought of trying a different word, but then I opted for a less common word, and voila.

In today’s example, I show how I like to forget that I have one letter in the correct spot. :rofl:

I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard anyone say it in normal conversation.

Fiction books, ad copy maybe, but just talking? Nu-uh.

The only time I’ve heard this word used is when it’s been preceded by another less obscure word (T . . . . . . .) to form a compound noun.
